The curlyhair tarantula is a plump, hairy spider whose bristles curl, which gives it a unique look. It lives in tropical scrubland in Costa Rica, often burrowing near large trees, rivers or patches of cleared rainforest. It is a popular pet and is widely bred in captivity.1

Its venom is delivered through two hollow fangs and has two purposes. It paralyses the prey and begins digesting it. The spider then sucks up the proteins and fats, leaving only a small ball of undigested body parts.1

This tarantula is usually docile. When threatened, it kicks hairs off its abdomen, which can cause a rash on the skin, and if they hit a predator's eyes they can cause blindness.1
